Work progresses on Kobe’s Gigantor statue
July 27th, 2009 by James
Fuji TV’s “Mezamashi TV” morning show visits the park in Kobe where work is underway to erect a life-size statue of Gigantor (Tetsujin 28-go):
Giant robot legs are already visible in the park where construction is taking place. The TV crew is given special access to a workshop that is creating the rest of Gigantor. The project is scheduled to be completed in October, after which Gigantor is expected to be one of Kobe’s major tourist attractions.
